WEST OF THE SUN LIMITED EDITION FROM THE SUN TO THE MOON by Lara Bohinc
WEST OF THE SUN LIMITED EDITION
FROM THE SUN TO THE MOON
by Lara Bohinc
Capturing the contemplative aura of rocks, gravel and rippled sand of ancient Zen gardens, Lara Bohinc has reimagined the purity and geometric form and transformed the essence of Japanese tradition in her signature style. A hand tufted rug of highest quality pure wool with an element of linen. A playful and creative shape where the graphic language of opposing circles and curves is more explicit and bolder than East of the Moon. The asymmetric shape is a reminder of nature’s ability to find its own way, still finding a stable balanced character. The boundaries are stretched in typical Bohinc fashion, allowing lines to f low along the perimeter of the rug. The color scheme of the two rugs are earth and rust, and dove and rose, respectively.

CARE ADVICE HAND TUFTED RUGS To further extend the lifetime of your rug, Kasthall recommends a regular main-tenance so that the rug may retain its shape and appearance. If you have a light, single-colour rug you will need to care for it more often than a darker, patterned rug. Thorough vacuum cleaning is the best, most economical and environmentally friendly cleaning method. Beating or shaking a rug may damage the fibers. Note that it is quite normal for the rug to lose individual fibers when used, these are excess fibres and it does not affect the general quality of the rug. If you want to get rid of excess fibres faster, you can vacuum the rug daily for an initial period. It is most efficient to vacuum the rug one direction at a time. Remember that hand tufted rugs in linen are sensitive to water, so take particular care with the amount of water you use when removing stains.
CLEANING ADVICE We recommend that the rug is cleaned by a professional cleaner, using the extraction method on a flat surface. The quantity and temperature of the water will depend on the material and pile length. Good ventilation during the drying process is essential. Shrinkage will be about 3–5%. Kasthall’s rugs are not to be machine-washed or dry-cleaned. At www.kasthall.com you can read more about our materials, how to look after your rug and our stain guide.
